So, have you been watching Three Rivers, the new CBS series featuring Daniel Henney as Dr. David Lee? A week ago, I would have told you that you weren’t missing much if you hadn’t been watching, but as of the last episode, I have totally changed my stance.

Three Rivers is a hospital drama that focuses entirely on a transplant team. I was curious how far the series could really go as a medical series with such a narrow focus, and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I shamelessly admit that I recorded it specifically to see Daniel Henney, who supposedly had a prominent role on the show. I say “supposedly” because the first few episodes didn’t include much development for his character, and I began to get the sinking feeling that the sexy, womanizing Dr. Lee was little more than comic relief.

The last episode completely changed my perspective. What first seemed like a cheesy attempt to inject some humor into the show through the character of Dr. Lee was really setup for what would play out to be a dynamic and interesting character of great substance and grace. I now have more respect for the series than I ever anticipated, and I want to recommend it to anyone who enjoys medical shows.

Although the season got off to a slow start and as a series overall I don’t find it exciting enough to prioritize over Dexter (which occupies the same time slot), I find myself growing more interested and more emotionally involved in the stories as time goes on, and I will be making sure I stay caught up on episodes.

If you haven’t given this series a chance, start watching: this is starting to get good.

I think it’s a little too late. I wouldn’t want to watch a show that might head down the drain. (Get cancelled)

I feel bad for Daniel Henney, but I’m not sure this show can compete with other shows in the same time slot. Granted, CBS is not a premium and SHO (the network that airs Dexter) is, original series on premium channels such as Dexter and True Blood have created such a buzz that more people are buying premium channels than ever before.

While I think Three Rivers MAY redeem itself by the end of the season, it definitely failed to hook people in the beginning and that may spell an early death for the show. Personally, I think it’s still too soon to say whether or not it will continue to run, though.

I agree, let’s keep positive!
